Y'all are easily my favorite doll review channel. There are a lot of great doll reviewers and discussers out there, but your channel makes it an artform with the creative direction, consistency, quality, and depth.

14:19 I felt like ainsley’s boots are a repaint of lyric lucas’ 2nd outfit boots.

Ainsley is quite a unique doll. I love the fact that she comes with a few outfits. I think the oil slick style would have also suited her. I do love her fashion. Yes, she always seems like she belonged somewhere else instead of Rainbow High. I'm so excited that she is on her way to me. I should receive her shortly. Thanks for your review as always!

[mysticblue]

I’m so glad they finally made a doll of her. But I wish this came with storage like Avery.

[e.d.t.]

Glad we finally got an Ainsley doll. I love her original outfit and the long sleeve top paired with the pants. My one fear is the staining it might leave behind. A part of me wanted her to have a silver rack and 2 more hangers, or the titular trunk.

I am surprised that Ainsley still holds the same Series 1 feeling while still being a strong competitor for the latest series release.. Easily she is my favorite latest release after the Storm Twins. Loved your review. The fashion references always on point!! Ah on that note, while I do agree with you that when I realized the Trunk Show Ainsley doesn't have any trunk, After asking for a fashion related friend he told me that a "Trunk Show" is when a designer offers a collection (or some of the pieces) after a runway show for a very limited time. And that it does not have anything to do with having a fashion trunk per se. BTW I am glad that she have hangers..

I love her striking blue eyes! And the dark hair really makes those eyes pop!🥰

[marstal]

She does not have the bambi face sculpt as I call it because the original face had deer in headlights eyes. Notice the side by side at 3:44 timestamp her chin is more angular and her eyes thinner as well as spaced further apart.

I just bought Ainsley this week! I got super lucky and picked one with minimal hair gel. Definitely a new fave of mine, just wish she had a rack of some sort for all her fashions.

[martamartom]

Ainsley Slater is my favorite from shadow high i love her. 🤩

[dylangomez]

Fun fact: Ainsley’s Shadow High outfit boots are a Recolor of Lyric’s second outfit boots 🤭

[raawrsome]

She's gorgeous, I love her different outfit choices. They'll look nice on some of my other dolls too, but I wish she came with more storage. My Avery clothing rail is bursting with second outfits. 😭

[Drewski]

it's interesting because I can definitely agree that Avery's release is more acutely attuned to her and her personal style whereas Avery expands on and adds to the series 1 girls in some way and by proxy we haven't really seen what or how Avery styles her own self. I guess it speaks to how the naming and products are indeed different - Avery has a fashion closet to style others while Ainsley's trunk show is more about putting a focus on her own self. Not bad, just different

Regarding her as a release I do wish she as an accessory focus actually came with some accessories to focus on - I guess the two bangles will have to do? - but do think all of the looks express her personality well. The mix of gold and buckles with the black pleather and the darker use of bolder color touches also makes her feel distinct from both schools she's attended. Truthfully I'm still not sure why she made a school transfer but I do think what limited moments she had before did hint at her not feeling that she is quite fitting into RH and just needed some sort of change so that tracks as well. And yet with all the continually rainbow branded everything I also don't think she's quite ready to choose one over another so I guess we'll see.

As for me, personally? While I must admit that the abundance of pleather has put me off a bit - it's gorgeous but only really for now because we all know it will *melt* in a few years LOL - and do wish she or the twins came with some sort of trunk accessories (maybe MGAE just didn't want to modify their existing ones for these two releases) I can also see her value and do think she's worth it if you like her or have been waiting for her. Now we just need Aidan to make the leap himself - maybe series 5?? - and I do wonder if the As will be able to overcome this rift and still shine as friends even if they are doing so separate from each other.

New Subscriber 🙂
Just purchased her at Target for $29.99
Thank you for the review. Excellent!

[hmlyfe]

Great review as always boys. Love to see the fashion references. That must have been a lot of work! Ainsley is pretty cute, love all the fashion pieces. And I agree we need Aiden already!

[brilh_o]

Ainsley's release was really exciting! Putting her up "against" Avery making her come with her extra fashions for Shadow High was a fun twist.

The only thing missing is more accessories just like Avery came last time — a rack, acrylic trunks and more tiny options to mix and match.

Can't wait to see where her storyline goes, it's promising. 🤞

[c.w.]

I love black and the fact that the outfits look a little edgy. I generally like the newer face molds better, but I think Ainsley looks pretty good like this. I imagine she will be close to $100 in Canada, so I probably won’t get her unless she goes on sale (Avery did). There is no question that Barbie and Monster High are competing for my doll dollars, so my Rainbow High purchases have dropped, despite the good offerings.

[diosdriccarlos]

what is the song called please I wanna know

[STXcluSive]

Another interesting fact is that her outfits inspiration also resembles Kpop girl group, LOONA's outfits from their album, So What!😍

If you look up the definition of a trunk show, it does not include a trunk! I had to do that because I myself was like where's the trunk lol. Thank you for a great review! I was just searching your review to see if you guys found a significant amount of black staining on your doll at all?! We picked ours up at the 49.99 point at target... And she's stained the hell! To a point that some of the pieces will show the staining 😔
